The Humana Foundation, philanthropic arm of Humana Inc. (NYSE:
HUM) for the past 40 years, is awarding $1.8 million to several
nonprofit organizations in Louisville as part of its ongoing
Community Partners Program. The program started in 2018 and with
today’s announcement, brings the total amount awarded to
community-based organizations to more than $10 million. The
investments support The Foundation’s focus on addressing social
determinants of health and driving greater health equity for all
who live in the Louisville area.
The recipients represent smaller nonprofits that join a group of
30 organizations receiving funding in this year’s program. The
awards will support key initiatives that drive sustainable change
while addressing disparities in education, community engagement,
access-to-care and financial asset security, to name a few. Today’s
announcement expands The Foundation’s reach into multiple
dimensions of health and deeper collaboration within the nonprofit
community.
“At such a critical time in our community, we’re encouraged that
the most vulnerable and marginalized people across Kentuckiana will
be helped through the tools, resources and commitment of these
non-profit partners,” said Caraline Coats, Interim CEO of The

recipients will empower a diverse group of partners who are
dedicated to the collective resilience and life-long success of
everyone in our community.”
